If You Believe In God Are You Saved?

 

The Holy God Most High Calls Each Person To Say They Are Sorry

God is all together righteous devoid of even the smallest tint of evil in His thoughts or actions.
Sovereign God is the designer of purity, honesty, patience, love, holiness and much, much more than that. And that is precisely how He built the world.

The Truths About God

It is not something that God just decided to enact, to make life hard for humans, it IS just who He is. God cannot ever become something else, or act another way. Every one of His commands are there to protect His character and to watch over us.
These things were built INTO the entire universe, and also, built into humans.
God can't do anything that contradicts His Being. You could consider it the 'everlasting governing laws of the cosmos.'
Hence, the Sovereign God of the Bible is the Grand Builder God of the whole universe, as well as the architect of the smallest element of a proton, which is undetectable to us. The Word of God declares this of God:

"I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols. (Isaiah 42:8) For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. (Deuteronomy 4:24)
Jehovah is high above all nations, his glory above the heavens. (Psalm 113:4)
To Thee, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, is the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head; (1 Chronicles 29:11)
And all the angels stood around the throne...and they fell upon their faces before the throne and worshiped God, (Revelation 7:11)
?Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding... (Job 38:4)
You have known?for then you are born, born? And the number of your days are many!..... (Job 38:21)
Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?..... (Job 38:31)
Then the LORD answered Job: "Shall he who contends with the Almighty instruct Him? He who reproves God, let him answer it." And Job answered Jehovah and said, "I am unworthy--how can I reply to you? I put my hand over my mouth. Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yes, twice; but I will proceed no further... Will you make my judgment null and void; and will you condemn me so that you may be justified? Hast thou an arm like God? or can thou thunder with a voice like him? (Job 40:1-5, 8,9)
Then Job replied to the LORD: ?I know that You can do all things, And that no thought or purpose of Yours can be restrained. You asked, ?Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?? Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know. You said, ?Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.? I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee: Therefore I retract, And I repent in dust and ashes.? (Job 42:1-6)
"The poor in spirit are blessed, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs. (Matthew 5:3)


Generally, people at present, have only heard about God, they haven't genuinely connected with Him.
Then for what reason, do we pridefully demand explanations from Sovereign God, to pretty much everything we do not agree with? Naturally, the practical questions we have of universal justice and the children that suffer are appropriate, nonetheless not to the magnitude where we can command the Supreme Sovereign God to offer us an account of His so-called unsatisfactory management of this life.

The Developer Owns Their Own Fabrication, Legally

The Most High God not only is the owner of the universe, but He also is the owner of us also, and all He wants is that which is His. His requirement is to love and serve Him in turn. It may be difficult to accept, but this world is His enterprise, and He can construct it however He wishes. If we built it, we can set the terms and conditions. However, God Most High states:

'And love thou Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might. And these wordes which I commaunde the this daye, shalbe in thine herte' (Deuteronomy 6:5-6)

If God Sought After Robots He Would Have Built Humans As Automatons

The Creator God may perhaps have removed all of the problems out of your world, to grant us a better life, but only by creating all of us as compliant robotic machines. However, that is definitely not what the Creator God wanted.
God Most High sought an individual endowed with free choice and would willingly choose to be devoted to Him.
A living being in some ways, like His being.

A Particular Risk Of Giving People Freedom

But, the danger with giving your generated being their own free choice, is that they may rebel against you, and that is precisely what we do.
This is a critical issue, think about all of the instances we commit and think about think about and commit which are wrong, often also known as trespassing in the Scriptures, they wholly dishonor God's nature and sanctity, and again, you may possibly say violating the unchanging Governing laws of the entire universe - the controlled universe He put together. These bad things have divorced us from Sovereign God.

'The heart is deceitful above all, and man himself, who shall know him?' (Jeremiah 17:9)

'Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults.' (Psalm 19:12)

Visualize it like this hideous contrast. A new clean and sterile wipe taken out of a new sealed pack to deal with your nasty bleeding cut, in contrast with a used, unsterilized wipe that has been sat and walked on for a month from the patients room seats or flooring. Ask yourself how are you feeling? Eww, repulsive. Well then, that is a mere glimmer of how the Creator God feels about our behaviour that is wrong, which also means the so-called insignificant things we do wrong and think about, that offend God's honour, and breaks the permanent laws of the cosmos.
Even the stuff we deem insignificant, for example: holding a grudge, vanity, blaspheming God, refusing to forgive that person that ill-treated us and neglecting Holy God our Creator, and so many more.

Any Wrongdoing Must Be Paid For And God Is The Debt Collector

Our sins are debts to God:
'And remit us our debts, as we also remit our debtors.' (Matthew 6:12)

Each one of these instances dishonor the perfect pureness, honour and rule of the Most High God. For any instance we act one, it is slapping Holy God in the face. In the Scriptures, contained in the Ten Commandments, The Lord declares never to yearn for others belongings. Have you ever been craving to possess a friend's life circumstances, home, wife or stuff? The Lord declares that it is evil to thieve, have you on any occasion thieved anything you needed? The Lord declares not to speak God's Holy name in vain or disrespectfully. At any time, have you ever blasphemed His Name? The Lord requires that we show respect to our parents. Have you ever talked back to your mother or father?

Holy God is aware of everything. And, every evil MUST be punished. The time is coming when every single evil MUST be convicted and judged, or you could say, pay outstanding bills to be compatible with the changeless laws of the entire universe. Or as the Holy Bible calls it; to eliminate the anger of the Most High God. This may come as a shocker to almost everyone, simply because they have been told that God Most High really loves one and all boundlessly, that they think that God Most High can not be wrathful with anyone over some evil they are doing.

Constantly I find people, oblivious to these fundamentals, debating ?But, Your God is meant to love people? What's this additional necessity on righteousness??

To which I answer, "Sure, He does love humanity, but still people won't be able to acquire the love quality of God and ignore the holiness quality. It is impossible. It is clearly explained in Scripture, and people are hardly ever told about this key fact. Regretfully, in this era preachers mostly only tell the pleasant teachings, not the entire uncomfortable truth.
You will not understand the Everlasting God by means of our earthly values, beliefs and practices. He absolutely is ?from another time and place? and He conveys to humans just who, He really is and the ways He rules in the Bible. Asking that He follow our system, only gives us a pointless faith in a belief that is not genuine and is going to end in a little while.
Humans mistakenly blame The Creator God for the miseries in the world, but it is in no way God?s failing. He created the whole thing immaculately, It was Adam who messed up and we continue to screw up. They dishonor God's nature and sanctity; the 'everlasting governing laws of the cosmos.' Holy God could not just come along and make everything perfect for the human race. The pattern or progression of the world that He put in place, must come to it's normal conclusion.
Our debts of sin have to be paid.

That being said, God supplied a plan for all our wickedness to be paid for, to pay the spiritually legal specifications of God's unalterable Law, the changeless law of the cosmos. And that astounding plan, was the punishing, dying, burial and the resurrecting of His Only Son, Jesus. And, this astounding strategy was carried out for all to see before all creation ? humans, angels and the fallen angels.
Jesus Christ was the sinless sacrificial Lamb that can pay the bill for our evil; attitudes, thoughts and conduct. No other means would pay for one's evildoing.
The Bible says:

'Since all have sinned (done wrongs stuff) and continue to fall short of God's glory.' (Romans 3:23)
So, solely being a 'good boy or girl? and doing many 'good' things will never protect you and I from the significant consequence of the bad attitudes, thoughts and conduct, only the Lord Jesus can. If all we do every day is be a very good woman or man and even go to church, that will not protect anyone and cannot allow for any person to enter into heaven. Which means, going to the Lake of Fire, specifically hell:

'For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting, in Christ Jesus our Lord.' (Romans 6:23)

It's true, it is not being good that will save you us, you need to say you are sorry for all of the wrong things you do, and live fully for the Most High God. I will describe this further in just a moment.

This is the reason I find that going to funeral services of one that is not a follower of Jesus Christ troubles me greatly. This is also why my chief concern in life is revealing to others about what Sovereign God is really like. To tell people who never go to church, and more than that, to individuals who do go to church but still do not correctly grasped what it was about. The misunderstanding of God is not uncommon, and is because the teaching they heard was unclear or it was jeopardised by the untrue beliefs of modern political correctness, from teachers continually endeavoring to cause the Everlasting, Unchangeable Almighty God to seem as though He is only a sweet, huggable grandfather sort of god, lacking His perfect purity and the punishing of evil stuff. Which is a man-made god a creation of their own feelings.
Frequently I observe atheists assert ?So how could God be like that, Christians say He loves us?? Sure, but we could not deny His punishing of evil stuff, when His Holy Bible pronounces a whole lot more concerning His holiness and punishing of evil stuff, than His great love.
You cannot appreciate the Eternal God using our values and behaviour. He is absolutely is ?not of this world? and He shows the human race who He really is and the manner in which He judges in the Holy Bible. Expecting Him to conform to my principles, simply gives us a precariously incorrect perspective of God.
And keep in mind, you have no means to hide it from God when you are not sincere. Almighty God is aware of your every single thought you think.

Give Yourself Unconditionally To God And These Wrong Things Are Provided For

The only way to have our transgressions acquitted and avoid hell, is to realize how wrong we are before a Most holy God, and to tell God that we are grieved by our sin. And afterward to utterly surrender our being to God, and be subject to God as boss for the rest of our lifetime. Fundamentally this, is the correct design of this life in the world He produced for His delight:

'And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

Jesus has not declare ?Now live as a good or sweet person, perform some good stuff for other individuals, and you will live with me in heaven .?
Indeed, this is what the Most High God stated about when you're acquitted of your trespasses:

'Then he propos'd this parable, concerning those who had a great opinion of their own justice, and look'd with contempt upon others.
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. the Pharisee having stood by himself, thus prayed: God, I thank You that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector; I fast twice in the week, and I give a tithe of everything that I gain. ' ?But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even raise his eyes to heaven but kept striking his chest and saying, ?God, have mercy on me, a sinner! ?
I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."' (Luke 18:9-14)

The Religious man in this lesson is not doing the presumed ?bad' sins like arson, as we say, nevertheless he was not forgiven by Holy God.
Yet, the collector of taxes commits ?bad' wrong things but was acquitted by Sovereign God, due to the fact that he genuinely apologised.
It is a humbling step to say that we have been and are, sinful and to yield our lives totally to God. Yet lacking it we can't be protected from our iniquities, we have got to come to Almighty God humble and weak. Jesus Christ said :

'And Jesus having called near a child, set him in the midst of them. and said, Verily I declare unto you, unless ye be converted, and become like little children, ye shall never enter into the kingdom of heaven.' (Matthew 18:2-3)

All Of Your Obligation Cannot Be Paid By Living As An Exceptionally Nice Character

'For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.' (Ephesians 2:8)

Do You Prefer Misery Or Yield Yourself To The Creator God?

'And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.' (Luke 9:23)

And ?Carry your cross every day? meant, we have to live in a self-sacrificing manner each single day for our belief.
The Bible also says:

'I exhort you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, your reasonable service: (Romans 12:1)

'But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear.' (1Peter 3:15)

In summary: the Creator God gets to be your supervisor. Permanently. And as Scripture instructs, we live for Sovereign God, studies in the Scriptures, praying each day, telling other people who God is, and assisting anyone when lead to. Sovereign God, becomes our campaign and quest for the remainder of our future.
